Case Study: GR01
Location: Whangamata
Cows: -
Brief/Description:
- Required pump to irrigate through existing Williams Spider Deluxe travelling irrigator from 2 pond system.
- Currently using contractors to empty the ponds which was proving to be costly and inefficient.
- Had tried small petrol/electric pumps in the past.
- Ponds approximately 150m from closest 3 phase power source.
Solution:
Given distance to power & having two individual ponds to pump from it was decided a PTO pump would be the best option. PTO pump can be easily moved between ponds & second outlet provides option to recirculate effluent for localised stirring of ponds while pumping. Pump sized to cater for undulating property and the likelihood of mainline extension in the future.
